  1. Science and Literacy How to include all of the information with very little time

  2. Educators: Why do we do what we do? • Baltimore Ravens or San Francisco 49ers

  3. Do you know who this is?

  4. What can I do to impact the life of a child?

  5. Change Jobs For Each Assignment We Do!

  6. Upcoming RESA Events • http://www.ciclt.net/sn/resa/recl_classlist.aspx?ClientCode=garesa

  7. Resources • http://www.claco.com/ • http://www.wikispaces.com/user/my/kthompson29

  8. Inquiry-Based instruction • OWL Chart • Observed—Want to Know—Learned • Hook them to get them interested • Allow students to be in charge of their own learning

  9. Inquiry-Based Science • vs. • Engineering Science

  10. Save the sea turtles! • Let’s talk about the Literacy piece first… • How does this connect to writing, math and possibly social studies • Why is this important to real-life instruction? • How can I help students make connections that have no background experiences or prior knowledge of this content material?

  11. Engineering • The teacher as the instructor • The teacher as the Leader • The teacher as the facilitator • Allowing the students to take ownership of their own learning • Problem solving, thinking outside of the box, critical thinking, and application of science content.

  12. The Design Process

  13. Engineering Design Brief • What is the importance of having a design brief? • Restrictions/Constraints • Blue Print

  14. Making Connections • http://www.georgiaseaturtlecenter.org/our-patients

  15. Turtle Activities • Turtle Activity #1 • Turtle Engineering Activity • I can use the engineering design process to create a way to keep sea turtles safe. • I can use the engineering design brief to help guide me through the design process. • I can use research to help me solve this problem. • I can use $50.00 to buy the materials and tools that I need for my project. • I can explain the results of my engineering activity, including the changes that need to be made in order to improve my solution.

  16. Discussion Time • Talk with your group about how you could incorporate this lesson into your school year.

  17. Hurricane Katrina • Let’s talk about how current events can help us make connections with science and help students with the application piece to science. • Where can we find math, writing and social studies in lessons such as this one? • Where does this fit in with the economy?

  18. The Literacy Piece • The importance of literacy connections • How can we make connections with writing , social studies and math? • What is the importance of using a variety of texts? • How can I differentiate for different levels of readers?

  19. I can Statements • I can share with a friend about how hurricanes occur. • I can share with a friend what a levee is an d how it helps save cities and towns during hurricanes. • I can use the design process to create a successful levee to protect our city from a hurricane. • I can create a design brief to help guide me through the design process and create a successful levee. • I can explain to a friend how a levee works and what happens if a levee fails. • I can use $50 to create my levee system.

  20. Discussion • How can I use this activity, parts of this activity, or ideas from this activity for my class? • What life lessons does this activity teach? • What experience or prior knowledge would my students need to know in order to do this assignment? • How could understanding an activity such as this one • help students understand the economy?

  21. Oil Spill • Literacy Part • How can writing, math and social studies fit in this assignment?

  22. Connecting Science and Social Studies

  23. Oil Spill Activity • I can explain how an oil spill occurs. • I can explain how an oil spill effects the lives of animals. • I can explain how hard it is to clean up an oil spill. • I can explain why oil and water do not mix. • I can explain why oil floats to the top.

  24. Discussion • How do activities such as this one show applied science an d math? • What is the importance of applied science and math?

  25. The Gingerbread Man

  26. Gingerbread assignment • Activity • I can create a way for the gingerbread man to go swimming without getting wet. • I can use $25 to create the swimsuit for the gingerbread man. • I explain how water can get through certain materials and how certain materials keep things from getting wet. • I can apply this activity to something in real life.
